Solution

$\lambda+\ell=75$

$x^{2}+4 y^{2}+2 x+8 y-\lambda=0$

$\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{\lambda+5}+\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{\lambda+5}=1$

$\because \frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=4$

$\frac{2(\lambda+5)}{4}=4(\sqrt{\lambda+5})$

$\lambda=59$

$\lambda \neq-5$

$l=2 a=2 \sqrt{\lambda+5}=2 \sqrt{65}=16$

$\lambda+\ell=59+16=75$
